Video of Miniscribe 3650 spinup

This particular hard drive was used on my BBS many years ago. I got 60 MB capacity out of it by using an RLL controller (it's a 40 MB MFM drive). I especially like the "WHEEP!" sound as the head quickly retracts after stepping across the entire disk.

Notice that the lights dim momentarily, that's the air conditioning coming on.

Sadly, no. I connected it to a computer several months ago but it wasn't recognized at all, not even by Spinrite.
